My curiosity about understanding the effectiveness of policies, in real life, informed by data, attracted me to NU-PEL. …I have gained a range of methodological skills including survey design, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, developing evaluation plans, conducting literature reviews, and honing my research writing skills… I am very happy with my experiences so far with NU-PEL and would highly recommend NU-PEL to people interested in learning and building capacity in evaluation.
In my four years of working with NU-PEL, I have been afforded research training and collaboration across disciplines, using an array of methodologies and approaches unified by the common goal of understanding and addressing health inequities. These experiences have nurtured my desire to collect, interpret, and disseminate data that both advances scientific knowledge and is rooted in community-centered social justice efforts.
